So they should instead shaft their much larger body of non-enterprise
customers who have been using Entourage since long before you ever came on
the scene? Hmmmm. That would go over well with your typical Mac customer -
not.

MacBU (and Jud in particular - are you aware you're catcalling and insulting
the developer who created Entourage from scratch?) were landed with the
responsibility of taking over Exchange support by the decision of the
Outlook team to give up when Mac OS X arrived. They have done a fantastic
job, release after release, of improving the experience in an application
that was designed to do no such thing. And they (although not Jud, who has
moved on to other endeavors but still cares enough to respond here and keep
an eye of things back at MacBU) will continue to do so. You can expect
further improvements in subsequent releases. But don't expect them to dump
all their non-Exchange customers for your sake. It's not going to happen.
You'll have to decide if you'd rather just use a PC, if Outlook means that
much to you.

PLEASE always state which version of Microsoft Office you are using - 2004,
X  or 2001. It's often impossible to answer your questions otherwise.
